Apprenticeships – on-programme training

Over the last two years, we’ve helped hundreds of apprenticeship providers to prepare for the reforms. We can help you make the transition from apprenticeship frameworks to standards – from start to finish.

RoATP Application Service – Apprenticeships

Apprenticeships – end-point assessment

Are you considering your involvement in end-point assessment – as an approved provider, as a consortium, or just subcontracting staff / resources? We’ve already supported hundreds of organisations to consider their options. We can help you plan, prepare and start delivering end-point assessment.
